One of the top questions I get asked is, “how do I become a sports dietitian?” “how do I get into this career path?” “Do you have any advice for future dietitians?” and so on.

I love these questions because I love being a dietitian. I stumbled into this career path and later realized that it was God’s perfect plan for my life. I believe it’s partly my job to help others do the same! (And have an easier time than I did)

Breakfast - it’s been deemed the “most important meal of the day” the king of all meals, the most worthy of your time and attention - yet, nearly a quarter of Americans skip breakfast daily!!

Especially as a high school athlete, or the parent of a high school athlete, you know how important breakfast can be for your performance. But finding a high-protein, high-quality, on-the-go breakfast that’s not super processed or super expensive is a struggle! Making and consuming this breakfast in under 5 minutes is nearly impossible - unless you’re having a smoothie and let’s be honest, those get OLD.

Lucky for you, I have a solution!

There’s a cool breeze and crispness to the air, the leaves are starting to fall, and the sun is starting to set earlier each night. This can only mean one thing: it’s PUMPKIN SPICE season!! 

Whether or not you’re a PSL-obsessed, cozy blanket, pumpkin patch, boots & sweaters type of person, you’re going to love this recipe!! The peanut butter and pumpkin flavors together are so yummy & filling, I could honestly eat these every day and never get sick of them!

I talk to countless friends, family, and clients - both male and female - who have something negative to say about their bodies. One way or another, we’re constantly finding ways we can improve, get better, look skinnier, shed some “mom/dad fat”, lose the “freshman 15” (which by the way is a bunch of bologna). We do all of this instead of celebrating our bodies!

Being an elite athlete doesn’t just depend on properly fueling your muscles - it also depends heavily on how you fuel your brain. Mental and physical health are so connected. In this post, I’m going to walk you through three simple strategies to BOOST that brainpower!

As a high school athlete participating in almost daily practices and games, you are burning a lot of calories. Depending on the sport, athletes may need to consume upwards of 3,000 calories per day! It can be very challenging to fit that many calories into only three meals. This is why snacking is so important for athletes!!

High school athletes need a lot of calories to keep up with the demands of their bodies. Unfortunately, high school vending machines might not offer the best options when it comes to fueling your body for performance. This recipe is a great one instead!

Are you a high school athlete looking to improve your nutrition, but you have no idea where to start!? Well, I’m here to help. Often, young athletes think that the best place to start is a meal plan.

You aren’t wrong if you’ve thought you could benefit from a meal plan as a high school athlete, but let me shed some more light on the topic.
